The evolution of Mike McCarthy’s offensive system in Green Bay has led to an expanded running game that isn’t just a zone scheme anymore.

Coaches and players alike seem excited about the gap scheme plays that have crept into the Packers' ready list of runs.

Opponents appear to be having some difficulty zeroing in on the more diverse scheme and, perhaps as a result, the Packers have run the ball better in the first quarter of the season than they have in a decade.

"Our base will always be the zone scheme, but we've been working on variations since spring," said offensive coordinator Tom Clements. "We had some successful plays last week man blocking rather than zone blocking. It does have its place."
